"Hey, hey! Xia Guan did have doubts at the time, but Xia Guan still believed in Xiao Gongzi more, as long as it was something that Xiao Gongzi researched, it was absolutely fine! ”

It was with his trust in Xiao Zhengtai that he won the more than 2,000 Wen.

Fortunately, the salary of craftsmen is high now, otherwise if the bet is lost, everyone will not be angry and stomp their feet?

"Since you won the bet, you have to invite my son to dinner when I go back!"

"Don't worry, little boy, even if you don't say it, I have to invite this meal, the ship of the warship can be built now, but there are still many things we don't understand, we need you to explain!"

"Good!"

Xiao Zhengtai nodded and answered.

In fact, he didn't understand anything about warships, but only a little bit when he was drawing paper by hand.

When the time comes, if you encounter any problems, you can only go to the universal search to find it!

"This steam engine is going to be built in large quantities, how long will it take for the first batch to be produced?"

"The craftsmen have no experience before, but now they have built it once, and then there are many familiar roads, and I will divide the craftsmen into a group of ten people and manufacture them separately, which should be enough for one month!"

Huang Yuan said confidently.

"The efficiency of this grouping is not obvious, but the craftsmen can be divided into an assembly line, and everyone always repeats the same work, so that everyone is very familiar with their work, which can greatly increase efficiency!"

In later generations, those large factories did this, and there was no waste of manpower at all.

"Huh? Little boy is a good idea, why didn't I think of it before? ”

Huang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded again and again.

A group of 10 can indeed improve efficiency, but some subtleties can only be done by one person, and everyone else can only be idle!

If you take the steam engine apart, make a part for each person, and finally put it back together, it will inevitably increase efficiency!

The little boy is the little boy, and he thinks about things more comprehensively than them!

"Forgive your little man, I wonder what is the use of the little boy to make a large number of steam engines?"

When the little boy handed him the drawings of the steam engine, he only said that it was of great use, but did not say what he was going to do.

"Let me tell you this, this steam engine is equivalent to a heart, no matter what machinery is studied in the future, this heart will be needed, so the more produced, the better!"

Xiao Zhengtai clenched his fist with one hand, compared it to a heart, and shook it in front of Huang Yuan.

"Ah......h So that's it! ”

Huang Yuan nodded as if he didn't understand, "Then does the warship also need a steam engine?" ”

"It's nature!"

"Okay, don't worry, little boy, I'll order someone to post a notice and recruit more workers to come back!"

"Hmm!"

Xiao Zhengtai nodded, and walked out of the gate of the steel mill with his little hands behind his back.

However, instead of returning to the palace, he went to Feng Quji's mansion.

When the reform list was drawn up, the left minister Li Si was hung up with a famous idle errand, but this right minister Feng Qujian was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and had real power.

Because of this, Li Si felt that his position was threatened, so he took the risk and sent a letter to the Huns, wanting to cause chaos!

But in the end, he didn't succeed, and he also ruined his own family!

"Yo! Little boy? Why did you have time to visit today? ”

Feng Quji, who was drinking tea at home, heard the report from his subordinates, and thought that he had heard it wrong.

It wasn't until Xiao Zhengtai walked into the door with Mingde that he reacted, hurriedly put down the teacup, and ran to the yard to greet him!

The old man is not young, with a gray beard, and under the light of the sun, it still shines a little crystalline, and at first glance, he was too flustered, and the tea was spilled on it!

I'll have to work on a razor and shave all these old guys' beards.

Leave it so long, you have to pick it up when you go to the toilet!

Once you forget it one day...... That picture...... Can't imagine!

Xiao Zhengtai quickly shook his head, sober himself up, don't continue to think about it, otherwise he won't even be able to eat lunch!

"Feng Shangshu is busy, he can't see anyone except in the morning dynasty on weekdays, and this son has to come to the house to find it!"

Without waiting for Feng Quji's invitation, Xiao Zhengtai had already staggered to the main hall.

Sure enough, a lot of tea was sprinkled on the table, and the next person was wiping it.

"Let the little boy smile, Xia Guan really didn't expect the little boy to come, how sloppy, forget the little boy's forgiveness!"

Feng Quji followed in, bowing with an embarrassed face.

"It's because Ben Gongzi didn't say hello in advance, and he hasn't apologized to Shangshu yet!"

Xiao Zhengtai said as he looked around.

Not to mention, he and Li Si are divided into left and right, but their living standards are not on the same front at all!

The decoration in Lis's house is certainly not luxurious, but every calligraphy and painting is not cheap.

But Feng Quji's main hall makes people look at it, and it feels a little shabby!

The calligraphy and paintings are all from his own hands, and there is not even a carved table, chair and bench, which is the most ordinary kind in the bazaar, dozens of dollars a handful!

As for what vase bronzes, that's almost invisible!

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare!"

Feng Qujian hurriedly surrendered his hand.

His status in the court is not low, but no matter how you say it, he is only a courtier.

Even if Xiao Zhengtai has just entered the palace for a year, he is still a prince.

There is a difference between respect and inferiority, Feng Qujian does not dare to mess with the number of etiquette!

"Feng Shangshu doesn't have to be polite, this son came this time to ask for something!"

Xiao Zhengtai unceremoniously jumped on the chair, leaned on the armrest, and said with a smile.

"The little boy can tell him something, as long as the old minister can help, he will do his best!"

Feng Qujian waved his hand again and again.

"The Ministry of Engineering is now in charge of the construction of the project, and there are many craftsmen under him, and it just so happens that Ben Gongzi needs to build a steam engine factory, I wonder if Shangshu can help?"

The steam engine has been successfully developed, and the amount required in the future will be larger and larger, and a workshop in the steelmaking plant will not be able to meet it at all.

Before the construction of the factory was built by Huang Yuan, but after the reform, Huang Yuan gave the craftsmen of the palace construction to the Ministry of Industry, and all the craftsmen under him were craftsmen, so no one could build the factory!

What's more, Huang Yuan has too many things to take people to study, and when new people are recruited, he still has to train new people, and there is no time to manage the construction of the factory!

The steam engine factory belonged to his private property, and this matter could not be brought to the court, so he had to come to Feng Quji in private!

"...... this?"

Feng Qujian lowered his head slightly, brushing his beard back and forth, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"Little boy, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have the money of the imperial court, and they can only do things for the royal family, if you want to do the private property of the little prince, after being known by some ministers, I am afraid that you will be impeached for private use!"

After a while, Feng Qu said earnestly.

In fact, it won't take long to build a factory, and besides, it's a matter of his words, and he doesn't need to do it himself, and he can ask the prince for a good time if he agrees!

But for the sake of the little boy, he would rather be this bad guy!
